I opened my package from Porfiry and found this amazing little guy:


Inside was a CD case titled "Porfiry's Jazz Mix" with the quote from Louis Armstrong:  if you have to ask what jazz is, you'll never know.


And here's all of the great tracks:


Thanks, Porfiry!  Great job--I love it all and have been listening to this super-cool mix since it arrived.
Props to you too, Nushy, for organizing the swap!

omg.. my cd feels lame now
i love your package!!! i've never quite gotten into the whole little monster craze, but that little guy is so cute!!!!
<-- jealous much

[nushybum]

Oh my goodness!! What an AMAZING package!!! I am astounded, and feel extremely inadequate over the CDs I haven't sent yet. (PO closed due to short staffed-ness. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR RRRRRRRRR.)

This is why is was SO HARD to put you guys in groups. I wanted music from ALL of you! (I've only been "into" jazz/blues for a year or so, and my collection is rather small.)

Fabulous job, Anne!

[krajackex]

omg.. my cd feels lame now

That's how I feel, too!  She did an amazing job, especially compared to mine...

[porfiry]

Awwwwwww.... thanks guys, I'm glad you like the monster case.  Seriously though, no one should feel ashamed of their packages/cds!  My husband and I have almost no life and so it was a toss-up between cracking out on old episodes of 24, or doing something constructive.  I opted for the latter and the monster guys were born.

Nushy, cover your eyes if you don't want to spoil your surprise, but....

I got Hgflower's CD on Wednesday night and regret that I didn't get to post OR to listen to it till today.  I've been down with a migraine, and it's a cruel joke to have a new CD when you suffer at the tiniest bit of sound.  Anyway, it came in particularly handy today because I was stuck in rush hour traffic and running late for a continuing education seminar -- for which there are dire consequences if you're too late to sign in -- and I was able to pop Hg's CD into my new car's CD player (sorry, I'm still so excited!!!!) and jazz my way along the streets of DC.

Under a cover of Schroeder from Peanuts doing his thing at the piano, we have:

1.  Linus & Lucy -- Vince Guaraldi Trio
2.  Nice Work -- Sting
3.  I Ain't Got Nobody -- Sammy Davis, Jr.
4.  Watermelon Island -- Edgar Djangirov
5.  Since I Don't Have You -- Brian Setzer Orchestra
6.  Take Five -- Dave Brubeck Quartet
7.  Night & Day -- Ella Fitzgerald
8.  T'aint Nobody's Business -- Otis Spann
9.  Time to Blow -- Del Paxton
10. At Last -- Etta James
11. Skating -- Vince Guaraldi Trio
12. Embrace Me -- Gabriela Anders
13. It Don't Mean a Thing -- Louis Armstrong
14. What Is This Thing Called Love -- Lemar
15. Stormy Monday Blues -- Bobby Blue Band
16. Minnie the Moocher -- Cab Calloway
17. Satin Doll -- Cerritos High School Jazz Band   (yes, your school IS talented -- don't tell me that fabulous singer was in high school too?!?)
18. Rhapsody in Blue -- Gershwin


You've got fabulous taste, my dear.  Thanks so much for the wonderful mix!

[twowishes]

Oh, p.s., porfiry ... PLEASE don't tell me watching old episodes of 24 isn't "constructive", or I'll seriously have to rethink how I spend my time!

[hgflower]

oh good!! i'm so happy you got the cd   and that you like it!!! and yes, the singer was in hs. she was in my senior class, i dunno what happened to her, but she was our celebrity at school, haha. i had to pick the song with her "guest starring" cause i think she did such a great job!
congrats on the new cd player too!
